The ‘Central Coordination Committee for Observing Amar Ekushey’ of Dhaka University has created a route map for those who plan to visit Central Shaheed Minar and Azimpur Graveyard on February 21 in remembrance of the Language Movement martyrs.
DU Vice-chancellor Prof. Dr. ASM Maksud Kamal announced during a press conference this afternoon at the university’s Abdul Matin Virtual Classroom that the route map will take effect at 7 p.m. on February 20 (Tuesday).
The Vice Chancellor of DU urged all investors to work together to ensure a smooth day.
According to the route, people will be able to enter Azimpur graveyard through the old High Court road, Doyel Crossing, Bangla Academy, TSC crossing, road beside Vice-Chancellor’s residence, New Market crossing and the north gate of the graveyard.
After offering prayers at the graves of the martyrs, they will have to come out through the main gate (South) of the graveyard and go through Azimpur Road, Palashi crossing, Fuller Road and in front of Salimullah Muslim and Jagannath halls.
Those who want to go to Shaheed Minar without visiting the graveyard will use the road on the left of Nilkhet Police Outpost (west of Sergeant Zahurul Huq Hall) after crossing the Vice-Chancellor’s residence.
The Shaheed Minar could also be reached through the road of Home Economics College and Eden College via Azimpur and Palashi crossings.
People can travel to Shaheed Minar from the Chankharpul neighborhood via the Bakshibazar and Palashi crossings, as well as the road in front of the Sir Salimullah Muslim Hall and the Jagannath Hall.
Please take aware that the road from TSC to the east of Jagannath Hall will remain closed.
The public access roads to Curzon Hall and Fuller Road crossing from Chankharpul and the Vice Chancellor’s residence will continue to be blocked.
People can leave the Shaheed Minar by using the road in front of Doyel Chattar and Chankharpul, the university playground.
